The cult hit now returns full force in this sequel which allows for more mayhem than before with expanded abilities for your minions.

Roman garb will get you past town guards, and at times you’ll have to combine the sartorial puzzling with your ability to leap into the body of a minion, which makes them far less conspicuous than when an eight foot tall bastard was standing in their midst. Not only that, but in certain cases you’ll use disguises to allow your minions into previously inaccessible areas. Scavenging armor and weapons like this increases your mob’s effectiveness, indicated by a rising percentage stat on the HUD. Pleasingly, this translates well to PC: using the mouse to move your minions is at first clunky, but once you get to grips with just how subtle your gestures have to be it quickly becomes intuitive. On the consoles it utilizes both analogue sticks – one to move your character about the world, and another to sweep your underlings about the vicinity. You’re the titular Overlord, a villain in charge of an army of dozens of scurrying minions who’ll pillage, loot and pile on to enemies. In fact, it feels more like Triumph’s second attempt, and fans of the first will find themselves in instantly familiar territory. Overlord II doesn’t fall far from the action-adventuring of the original game.

Which is fine, as the sprawling faux-fantasy world that is the game’s setting is populated by jerk-offs. Not only is it a distinct improvement on the original, but the new features add greatly to what was already a superbly entertaining game. Destruction and domination are the two extremes, and being good doesn’t really come into the equation. Overlord II feels like a shining beacon of quality. Hey, that’s Overlord II, a game whose morality slider goes from one sort of evil to another sort of evil. Was it slavery? Good! Now imagine both of these acts being carried out by a pantomime villain in a pointy helmet in a way that makes everybody laugh and feel good about themselves and the despicable world that we live in.
